Sub-Domain WP-Admin not working

What’s in your .htaccess?

This is the current content of the HTACESS file

#Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.5#
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

I missed the first time that this was using the Multisite enabler. I hate that thing, it acts up.

Go to /wp-admin/network/setup.php

Make SURE your .htaccess matches the one there, and check your wp-config.php for the lines mentioned. ALL the lines. They matter.

Thanks for the support. Your question related to the matches is not clear to me.

I have changed the .htaccess in the following way – based on doc MS Codex

#Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.5#
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

The network/setup.php contains the following info:

<?php
/**
 * Network Setup administration panel.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Multisite
 * @since 3.1.0
 */

/** Load WordPress Administration Bootstrap */
require_once( './admin.php' );

if ( ! is_multisite() )
	wp_die( __( 'Multisite support is not enabled.' ) );

require( '../network.php' );

Looking forward to your response on this

That wasn’t what I meant… I was unclear, sorry. Go to https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/network/setup.php

ie VISIT the page ??

OK – I have followed the directions:
‘Create a blogs.dir directory at /var/www/vhosts/synergic.nl/httpdocs/wp-content/blogs.dir. This directory is used to store uploaded media for your additional sites and must be writeable by the web server.’

IT WAS ALREADY THERE

‘define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘synergic.nl’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );’

THESE LINE WERE PART OF CONFIG.PHP FILE. ONLY IN MY CASE IS “1” INSTEAD OF “TRUE”. I ASSUME THAT WILL BE THE SAME

‘#Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.5#
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]’

THE .HTACCESS CONTAINS ALSO THE RIGHT INFORMATION ….

SO WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

Please don’t type in all caps. It’s rude. I’m helping you as a free volunteer, and if you’re gonna be rude, I’m going to walk away.

I asked if you could verify everything was set up right. A simple ‘Yes, it looks the same’ would have been fine ??

In your wp-config.php, can you check that this line is also there:
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

Also, make sure those Multisite lines are all above the line that says:
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Sorry, No attention at all to be rude to you, I just wanted to make a difference between the code copies and my responses. Will use the Code option next time

I have added that line to the config file, but when I add the line nothing is working.
I have tried this with

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
and with
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', 1);

When I remove this line, I do get the side back.

Strange, I do hope you have another option my dear friend ??

The config file has these details:
/* This site was made multi-site enabled by @link https://jgwebdevelopment.com */

define ('MULTISITE', '1');
define ('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', '1');
define ('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'synergic.nl');
define ('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define ('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define ('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
$base = '/';

I have tried to use your suggested line as a second line after the first define … but then the site will go up. I’m still not able to start the dashboard (404), and when I visit the site I do get the default page of the web server …

*sigh* Honestly, man, it’s probably something stupid that plugin did. Which is why you’ll see us tell people NOT to use it left, right and center. The true (vs 1) is bog standard WP, and I don’t know why the plugin version of it is forcing the 1, btu can only presume it’s because it’s playing games in your database :/

OK – so there is no need to change the 1 to True.

Is there anything you recommend to do or would it be the best way to start from scratch – reinstall WP
– activate WP manually

Looking forward to hear from you

I would reinstall and activate Multisite manually. If you don’t have any content to use, that’s the easiest.

If you DO, then you’d have to uninstall Multisite, which is a little more complicated, but can be done.
